    Don't know if this had been shown before but story is that the buffalo challenged the rhino assuming over territory and the outcome is actually but upsetting as you watch you will see the pride of the buffalo not givin up which unfortunately led to his death
    Warning it may be disturbing

    Great find; very impressive. The buffalo looks almost as large as the rhino yet the rhino is obviously so much stronger- basically carrying the buffalo with its head. Amazing...

    The Rhino in OP sorting out the Buffalo is a White Rhino which is much larger then the Black Rhino which the Hippo saw off in previous post. Can't remember exactly what kind of difference, but I think up to twice the weight.

    I think the whites are a lot more territorial than the black rhinos too, which might explain the viciousness of the attack.

    Black rhinos tend to be grumpier and more aggressive than white rhinos.

    And Indian rhinos are grumpier and more aggressive than any of those :D
